Abstract

Computer simulations that introduce a topic can help students better apply the knowledge they learn. The internet can be used effectively, though it should be used guardedly given all it contains. Computers are really no different than other types of educational technology. They can promote imagination, creativity, and abstract thinking. If computers are used wisely, they can support the educational process in the Christian classroom. [CJ]
